Ego

Dear friends,

You all must have heard the [Gujarati] proverb 'Name e Saune Game - Everyone likes the one who bows down'. What happens if we do not bow down? It becomes like the tall palm trees swaying at the riverbank. When a storm comes, these tall trees are uprooted, but you must have noticed that the small plants continue to sway and withstand any kind of wind.

This is somewhat similar to the human ego. The bigger the ego, the less power it has to withstand the slaps of nature's storm, and the smaller the ego, the greater the power to adjust.

The main reason for the downfall of mighty men like Ravana, Kansa, and Duryodhana was their immense ego, as we all know.

What is this ego? What is its existence? Can it deceive us, too? How can we recognize it? Can it be diverted? Many questions must have arisen, right? So, instead of getting lost in the whirlpool of questions, let's find solutions to all these questions in this issue of Akram Youth and become likable to all.
